The Byrds
Splendor in the Grass (version #1)
[Verse 1]
The first love I've ever had
The first time I went mad
The first time I left home
The first time I felt alone
The first time my heart was hurt
The first thing I did wrong

[Refrain]
If I had one wish I'd ask
To relive splendor in the grass

[Verse 2]
The first time I was ever kissed
The very first person I did miss
The first time I said goodbye
The first time I felt I'd die
The first time I felt shame
The first time I was to blame

[Refrain]
If I had one wish I'd ask
To relive splendor in the grass

[Verse 3]
The first time I did see
The wonder of the sea
The first time I did hold
A baby close to me
The first thing I held near
The first time I felt fear
[Refrain]
If I had one wish I'd ask
To relive splendor in the grass
